Master of Professional Engineering (Aerospace Engineering)

• Become an aerospace engineer and be at the forefront of modern technology and mechanics developing rockets and spacecraft, aircraft or aerospace equipment. Help improve green and fuel-efficient technologies or examine airworthiness and flight handling in normal and emergency situations.
• UniSQ's aerospace specialisation has two sub-disciplines - the Mechanical strand and the Electrical and Electronic strand - which both fall within the Engineers Australia national Engineering Register Areas of Practice. You can hone your expertise further in the Mechanical strand and specialise in Aerodynamics and Propulsion, or Aerospace Transport Structures.
• The two Mechanical strands explore hydraulic systems, advanced aerodynamics, simulations, and propulsion systems; or strength of aerospace transport structures under static and dynamic loading, simulations, and assessment of damage. Both strands build skills to apply aircraft modifications.
• You'll study aviation systems in the Electrical and Electronic strand, including navigation, communication, human-machine interfaces, specialist electronics design and intelligent sensor networks, and gain skills applicable to aerospace system design, maintenance, training and simulation.
• The research project and dissertation in this degree can be a stepping stone to both industry careers in the Australian space programs or further research degrees, such as a PhD.
• UniSQ leads the iLAuNCH program, a collaboration of three universities and 20+ industry partners to boost Australia's sovereign space capability. UniSQ has a growing presence in the aerospace field through research projects at the Institute of Advanced Engineering and Space Sciences and the Centre for Future Materials.

Master of Professional Engineering graduates are eligible to be considered for higher research degrees, such as the Master of Research or PhD studies.

UniSQ is seeking provisional accreditation from Engineers Australia for the Aerospace Engineering specialisation. As this is a recognised field of practice within Engineers Australia, graduate membership is still available upon application on completion.

• Graduates may find work as an aerospace engineer, aerospace technician, aerospace electro-magnetic compatibility engineer, data analyst, aircraft mechanic, inspection manager, technical sales engineer, mechanical or electrical engineer, or data engineer.
• Aerospace engineers may work in domains such as aerodynamics and performance, communication and electrical systems, component EMI compatibility, flight simulators and flight management systems, environmental effects, fuels and lubricants, hydraulic systems, radar and satellite systems, risk management, cabin environment and cockpit ergonomics, noise and acoustic effects, propulsion systems, vehicle launch and recovery in Australian industry and Defence.

To complete this degree students must complete 16 units.

Refer to the UniSQ Handbook for an example of courses to be studied and recommended enrolment patterns.

This degree has a mandatory attendance requirement for some of the residential school courses. All students will have the opportunity to come on-campus for residential schools, where you will attend face-to-face lectures and tutorials to gain practical experience, use facilities and specialist equipment, and meet staff and other students.
